This live letter covers information related to the upcoming Shadowbringers expansion, "using live gameplay footage to cover battle system changes and new job actions!". Also includes other misc announcements.

Submissions that are images or videos containing little or no FFXIV material are prohibited as part of this rule. This includes memes/media that comes from non-FFXIV content such as a TV show and minor FFXIV elements are inserted into it.

The moderation team is planning to make some substantial changes to the rule set on r/ffxiv. We occasionally refresh the rules to ensure they are appropriate for the future of the subreddit. We'll be making an announcement when we push these changes soon, but before then we want to have a discussion about low-effort posts on r/ffxiv and welcome any feedback you'd like to give us.

As part of this refresh we are looking to make significant changes to rules 9 & 10, which currently state:

9. No low effort joke/meme images

Unoriginal or low-effort meme images are prohibited. Low-effort general "shitposts" are subject to removal.

Fanart and webcomics about FFXIV are allowed.

10. Avoid these restricted repetitive posts

Some posts reposted for months become trite, and are subject to removal. They include:

a) Questions covered in our Definitive FAQ belong only in the question megathread

Unfortunately, we simply aren't allowed to manipulate the vote buttons in a way that disables them. We can only hide them using CSS, which is only supported on the desktop version of old Reddit, which accounts for a small portion of subreddit traffic.

We did just this in the past and hid the downvote button for a period of 2 weeks and it had no substantial difference to voting behaviour.
